The 30-year-old Hinnant is a former Boston College guard (2002-06) who played there while Duquette was an assistant coach under Al Skinner. After graduating from BC, the 6-foot-4 Hinnant spent seven seasons playing professionally in Europe, including this past season in Hungary.

"Louis was a tremendous point guard on some of our best teams (at BC)," said Duquette via text message on Tuesday.

Duquette spent 13 years on the coaching staff at Boston College. With the addition of Hinnant, there is a very distinct BC flavor on UML's staff.

Biko Paris, another former BC guard (2007-11), is one of Duquette's assistants.
